Welcome to boating!! all my boats were nightmares when I first got them!!
1 1964 Hawkline 17, 1973 60 hp Johnson, had 2 weeks and riped the lower unit off on a rock. then the shifters went and aso on, got a newer motor for it, and sold it
2 1975 V20 I/O, went thru everything and spent thousands!! for the motor to die! Converted to OB 1986 Yamaha, lasted 3 years or so thn the oil injection went and took the motor with it! Got a 1994 Yamaha to replace and it was junk out of the box, got a Evinrude and lasted tillIgot hit by a 10 foot wave last summer, fixed and sold bot afterthat with the motor on it.
3 1984 23' Sea Ox w/a boughta motor off ebay 1986 225 Evinrude. workeds well tillit kind of fell apart a monty ago. Now has a great running 175
erc on it, little small but works fine!!
So get use to it, itnever stops!!
Good Luck!
